How we work
Many believe that a launch at Systembolaget is the last step of some successful business management. We know better! We see the newly launched product as the first step in a long-term business relationship.
When a new product is launched it enters a highly competitive segment where new competing products are introduced four times every year. The hardest part is to keep the product for many years and never stop brand building. It’s at this early point that our work and expertise starts for real.
We know branding and are experts in creating a brand from zero, with no brand recognition, to a popular brand.
Vinia works very closely with the purchasers at the monopoly. One key to success is to constant study and analyze the market and consumer needs; these insights are afterwards transformed into our proposals to Systembolaget.
Hampus Landelius, Executive Assistant/Marketing Director
We have in-house expertise in marketing and business analyses, and we also cooperate with some of the sharpest advertising agencies in Sweden. Branding expertise is critical on this market, and we have many successful launches with both our own and created brands.
Carefully selected producers
Vinia has deliberately chosen to work with a few high-quality producers rather than to cover all the wine regions and every wine producing country in the world. The selection is made by Vinia, focusing on producers who have the flexibility and potential to bloom and grow based on the conditions on the Swedish market.
Once a producer has obtained a listing at Systembolaget, Vinia works hard to expand vertically and launch several products from the same producer. This expansion can be done by introducing and presenting new offers to the Systembolaget; our market knowledge is crucial for this work. Today we have many fixed listings from the same producers on the Swedish market.
We believe in expertise in every part of our business, and we continually aim to improve all aspects of what we do and continuously evaluate our performance and conduct.
It was not long after the start of Vinia that we won our first fixed launch, with a great Malbec wine from Domaine Bousquet. Today, ten years later, we have several fixed listings from Domaine Bousquet and the Malbec is still in the market and doing well with high brand recognition.
